6.2.0

This is because Grails 6.2.0 removed grails-shell which is a dependency of grails-database-migration:4.2.1.
This is fixed in upcoming? grails-database-migration:5.0.0.

Thanks @matrei - What is the approx timeframe for the release of grails-database-migration:5.0.0?
I'm upgrading our production app from 4.x and I was targeting 6.2.0, but if it will be some time before I can use 6.2.0 because of this, do you recommend that I target 6.1.2 instead?

[matrei]

Not sure when grails-database-migration:5.0.0 will be released.
In the mean time you can just add the dependency org.grails:grails-shell:6.1.2 to your project to make it work.

[rick-boardontrack]

I had done that, but noticed that my project included almost all of the grails 6.1.2 libraries as well:

From the IntelliJ 'External Libraries' for this project:

In this case the app works fine for the most part, but during testing am experiencing a strange issue with the system attempting to auto cast a command object and it is attempting to cast to the incorrect type. Not sure if having two different versions of grails core libs is the root cause. I'll keep investigating. Thanks for the feedback on this issue.

Is this relevant for your issue: #13486

[rlconst]

Tried and prod version is broken. Why don't you publish 6.2.0 to maven repo?

[matrei]

Fixed by #13570 which is included in Grails 6.2.1
